Certain small, old towns of the Northeast are full of time warps. People crossing the street can seem like they sprang from decades past and certain buildings are forgotten relics, unseen and unnoticed. As a boy, playwright/director Jim Farmer saw 'The Sound of Music' in a large, decrepit movie theater in Hawley, PA, near Lake Wallenpaupack. The movie palace's sad and spooky overtones brought back feelings he had as a younger child, when he was taken by his parents to a supper club in Bayonne NJ, his hometown. Surrounded by its scratchy jazz band and eerie, wrinkled comics, Farmer knew that he wasn't experiencing a 'Jack Benny Show' of the past but a David Lynch moment of the future.

Based around field recordings made in Antarctica by DJ Spooky That Subliminal Kid/Paul D. Miller exploring the acoustic qualities of ice, Terra Nova transforms the artist's first person encounter with the continent's harsh, dynamic landscape into a large scale multimedia performance work that employs video projections, sampling, and a scored symphony performed live by members of the acclaimed New York and Chicago-based International Contemporary Ensemble (ICE).
